International Conference on Taxation, State building and Capacity Development in Africa: Pretoria Communiqué
29 August 2008
TaxAfrica
Over the past two days, we, Commissioners and Senior Tax Administrators and Policy Makers from 39 countries, together with representatives from bilateral and multilateral organizations active in Africa on tax issues, met in Pretoria, South Africa on 28 – 29 August 2008.
The gathering provided us with an opportunity to deliberate on the issues of taxation, state building and capacity development in Africa and take stock of the progress made, challenges faced and a possible new direction for African tax policy and administration in the 21st Century. The focus of our gathering enabled us to take forward the debate on the following issues:
-
The importance of taxation in state building;
-
The changing environment of taxation in Africa; and
-
An African initiative: Strengthening African Tax Administrations
The goal of our meeting was to lay a strong basis for a new approach to taxation, state building and capacity development of African Tax Administrations and the launch of an African Tax Administration Forum. The meeting has helped us build partnerships between developed and developing country administrations, thereby ensuring greater synergy and cooperation among donor organizations, reducing duplication and giving greater support to African Tax Administrations.
